SIZE YOUR OUTRIGGER PADDLE

Posted by Ross Creasy on Mar 31, 2016

Use the chart to help you determine what length paddle might be best for you. The following are some things to take into consideration:

1. If you have broader than average shoulders, go to the high end of the range.2. If you have a longer torso than average for your height, go to the high end of the range. 3. When ordering a paddle to be used with a one or two person canoe, go to the middle or low end of the range. (Most people use a shorter paddle in a one person versus a six-person canoe.) 4. Remember, these are general guidelines so please take into account your personal preferences.
